USA Today (www.usatoday.com) (12/15/00) P. 18A
Hale, Ellen

President Clinton said Wednesday that it is the responsibility of industrialized nations to help other less developed nations to survive and compete in the global economy. Clinton, who was speaking at the University of Warwick in England, asserted that wealthy nations should help supply resources for countries in the developing world to battle AIDS, bridge the digital divide, and educate their young people. The president's speech came at the end of a three-day trip to Ireland and Britain during which he hoped to encourage more peace talks in Northern Ireland.
